Cases

Kahangi & Ors v Nourizadeh

Held

Exercising the discretion to make an order for security for costs,

1. There was sufficient evidence to conclude that there would be serious problems over enforcing costs in Iran.

2. The significant conflicts of evidence were insufficient to show that the Claim was likely to succeed and, along with the attacks on Reynolds privilege and the allegations of bad faith could not be resolved within a security for costs application.

3. A staged approach to security for costs was appropriate and the sum of £275,000 was ordered in favour of the Defendant.
